Are you having trouble sleeping?
Sleep problems may be caused by how you’re feeling emotionally, or as part of the side effects for cancer treatment. If you find it hard to have a good sleep, you’re not alone. The Online Community is here to support you 24/7.
“Getting a cancer diagnosis is extremely stressful, and that brings a whole load of emotions, and lack of sleep certainly does not help. I think many of us have periods of insomnia. I experienced a long period of not sleeping. I could go off to sleep quite quickly, but after an hour I would find myself wide awake again, and would spend the rest of the night getting frustrated because I couldn't sleep."

Wow hon, I didn't realise you'd been going to your class for so long and thought Pat was a new friend. Well that's great that she lives quite close to you and gives you special support. Well done Pat, she's definitely a keeper.
Well I'm going to get my head down again lovey, as hot weather has me feeling drowsy and a right nark if I'm tired. I wish I was one who enjoys hot weather but it doesn't have a good effect and also kicks off my hayfever. Grrr
Always a pleasure to chat with you sweetie and you have a good sleep when you settle down. Hugs and love and dream about Muller Corners xxx
Morning Kez
I've looked up where Uki is and it's absolutely wonderful! I'm not sure a return home would be on the cards if we were there - I think we'd have to be dragged away!
I'm hoping you've got the beautiful sunshine out now hon, but we're keeping the door firmly shut! Wasps, flies and pollen aren't welcome visitors.
Have a lovely day sweetheart xxx
